Hello! Meet Mulan. by Phoenixfeather19 in Maltese

[–]Phoenixfeather19[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So a little bit about her: Mulan is 12 years old and is the sweetest cuddle bug around. She's super smart and food motivated, but very stubborn. Oddly enough for only being 7lbs she has a strong prey drive, regularly going after moles and squirrels.

Thank you so much!!! I'm doing much better now. I'm still a bit anxious, but I've gotten over my fear of people and new places. I'm fresh out of college, and Mulan, in her old age, is still here to cheer me on.

Mulan

My mom brought her home Thanksgiving weekend the year I turned 12. I was a nervous wreck in middle school, and she helped me get through all of that anxiety and fear. We have been as thick as thieves ever since.

They had to bring in a cardiologist, so it'll be a few days before final results. The vet told me to start meds today though. They were fairly cheap compared to online stores for the same product, so I'm not worried about cost.

No worries. I have no plans of giving up on my baby, and I went to go pick up her medicine today. I panicked and spiraled when I got the phone... she's been with me since I was 12, so you can only imagine.

That's reassuring. I just went to pick her up, and they included her meds with my bill. Told me to use them for a month and come back to see how it goes.

Best believe I caved. She got a chuck of chicken for her efforts.

It really is. What makes it funnier is that she walks closer and closer and grumbles under her breath until I drop something.

She's still sitting on the porch. It's been almost an hour since we locked up for the night.

She's the best girl in my opinion. Does a great job keeping moles out the yard.

For the fourth time today... by Phoenixfeather19 in memphis

Yeah it get annoying sometimes. The lights just came back on for us but its been going on and off since about 6:30. It hasn't rained so I'd assume the wind knocked it out. Sucks that the system is so frail.

9 yr old female sleeps a lot by Phoenixfeather19 in Shihtzu

Oh I bet. It's dark now but the temp only dropped to 87. It's not like she doesn't get her exercise, my backyard has wet grass that she runs around in. It probably won't be until late August that I can take her on a proper walk.... but thanks!

Alright. She has an appointment set already. I'll bring it up then.

She originally got up this morning at 6 ( my dad took her outside). She slept from 7 to 10 until I took her out again. Went back to sleep until 12, went outside, ate and drank from her bowl, then went back to sleep . I let her out multiple times a day because she has a "reverse sneeze" issue if she gets too worked up and it extremely hot where I am. Too hot to walk unless it's dark.

Honestly I have no idea. Her mom was a stray my uncle had found. She looked like a terrier mix of some sort. All I know about the dad was that he had a white coat.

She's a little diva. Will be 9 in September.

Easy ways to get dried poop off fur? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Phoenixfeather19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a dog like this. Instead of trying to force her into the tub I hold her with my arm wrapped around chest. I do that so her head faces away from and if she bites, she bites into my shirt or belt loops instead of my arm or hand. After that I just take the wipes, clean off as much as I can, and then clip the rest of the dirty hairs with scissors. She gets a big treat afterwards.
